~Prologue~
She couldn't for the life of her remember when she'd seen him last. Now she wasn't sure if who she saw was really him.
"Bobby?" she whispered.
She looked at her boyfriend and didn't have to ask. Bobby Drake's eyes were locked onto the TV and the news story about Magneto and his band of evil mutants. Standing shoulder to shoulder with Magneto and Mystique was a familiar face, a face aged prematurely by grief and anger.
"I knew it," she whispered.
She slid off of the couch and walked out of the living room. She buried her head in her hands and sat down on the steps.
"Marie?" asked Logan as he walked into the large front hallway.
He looked at her as she slowly raised her head. She was hurting, he could see it in her eyes. His immediate though was Bobby. I'll run him through, he thought to himself as he sat down next to her.
"What's wrong kid?" he asked wrapping his arm around her, careful not too touch any exposed skin.
"It's John," she whispered "We know where he is."
His heart stopped. He always knew this day would come. She's going to tell me he's dead, he thought; Another kid I failed, another life I destroyed. Logan looked at her as she twisted the ring she wore on a chain around her neck.
"Where?" he said, his voice barely a whisper.
She stared down at the dark blue gloves that covered her hands and sighed deeply.
"He switched sides," she said brushing the tears from her eyes "He's a wanted felon now."
Logan swore under his breath and at that moment he wished that he was dead.
